Jenkins turning heads in Green Bay

Former CMU standout Cullen Jenkins is off to a terrific start in camp with the Green Bay Packers. After being undrafted out of CMU, Jenkins has slowly worked his way up the ladder in Green Bay, to where he is now a starter with a new four year contract.

August 13, Wisconsin State Journal Against the Steelers, Jenkins recorded two sacks -- on the first, he forced and recovered a Ben Roethlisberger fumble as he stripped the quarterback just as he was about to throw -- and also stuffed former Packers halfback Najeh Davenport for no gain on a third-and-1 play on Pittsburgh's second offensive series. He also added one quarterback hurry.

The performance was simply a continuation of camp for Jenkins -- his coaches have been raving about him since the first practice July 28. Defensive coordinator Bob Sanders said last week Jenkins is having "an outstanding camp." Coach Mike McCarthy said he's off to "an incredible start."

"He's having about as good a camp as I can recall (anyone having), looking across the line of scrimmage at him," McCarthy said.
